When a copy of the new Ree Drummond cookbook, "The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier," landed on my desk last week, I offered a giveaway over on the Facebook page for The Observer's Facebook page. The book is officially on sale March 13, from William Morrow.

This morning, we're picking a winner using the random generator at www.random.org. Who gets the book, which continues Drummond's style of familiar, family-pleasing recipes with step-by-step pictures and lots of snaps of life on the ranch? Go on over to Observer Food Page on Facebook.

If you haven't checked us out on Facebook, I use that space to post food news all week, from links to our own stories all over The Observer to interesting food news that I spot while I'm roaming around the Internet. If you like it, "like" us. Thanks.
